Twists and Turns
Stories or poems of any genre and any length (100-10000 words). Keep it PG-13. But here's the twist: all entries must contain at least one plot twist of some kind. Stories will be judged on overall enjoyment, quality of writing, and how surprising and exciting the plot twist is. I am open to creative interpretations of the prompt. I am just a person who loves a good plot twist, and I'm looking forward SO MUCH to reading your entries.

Reality

I smile.

A quick glance behind me broadens my grin;

I chuckle quietly to myself.

My dress floats in the wind,

fluttering like a butterfly's wings.

Oh, how I would love to be a butterfly,

free to roam,

my beautiful wings shimmering and shivering,

knowing no stress,

no fear,

no sorrow.

A sharp gust of wind brings me back to reality,

and my grin reappears.

Tilting my face up,

I catch the sunlight,

and feel it refract as it hits my tears.

A drop kisses my cheek and lands on my hand

as I realize that I am still

stuck in the underground cave I have been in for

two months.

And I shudder as I think to myself

that my reality

isn't much of a reality at all.

I am 21 years or older.
